The present invention relates to a curable polyorganosiloxane composition, and particularly relates to a curable polyorganosiloxane composition for use in adhering a base portion having an image display part for an image display device to a light-transmitting protective portion.

An image display device such as a cathode ray tube, liquid crystal, plasma or organic EL image display device, is generally composed of, as a polarization splitting element, a polarization split-type diffraction optical element (a holographic color filter), which diffracts and disperse an incident beam and selectively condenses the resultant lights in the separate wavelength regions on the positions corresponding to the respective picture elements of R (red), G (green) and B (blue) colors formed on a polarization modulation element. Especially, an image display device of a panel type generally has a pair of substrates, at least one of which is a substrate having light transmission properties, such as glass, and has a display area (an image display part) disposed between the substrates, wherein in the display area a number of picture elements composed of a semiconductor layer, a fluorescent layer or a light emitting layer constituting an active element are arranged in a matrix form. In the image display device of a panel type, a gap between the display area (the image display part) and a protective portion formed from glass or an optical plastic such as an acrylic resin, is airtightly sealed using an adhesive.

As the adhesive used in the above-mentioned sealing, an ultraviolet curing resin composition using an acrylic resin is not used but a thermosetting resin composition is generally used, due to the structure of the image display device, for example, in which a light blocking paint is applied to the outer frame portion of the protective portion.

With respect to electronic parts such as a transistor, a diode, a capacitor, a coil, an LSI and an IC, which are sealed using a sealing resin, such as an epoxy resin or a polyphenylene sulfide resin, Patent Literature 1 discloses a technique in which a gap frequently occurred at the interface between the sealing resin and a lead of the electronic part, or a gap inevitably present in the electronic part due to its structure is impregnated with a specific thermosetting silicone resin composition in a liquid state and the resin composition is thermally cured to recover the sealed state.

Patent Literature 1: Japanese Patent Application Kokai Publication No. H9-169908

The thermosetting silicone resin composition disclosed in Patent Literature 1 uses a chained polyorganohydrogensiloxane which has three or more hydrogen atoms bonded to silicon atoms per molecule in a side chain of the molecular chain. However, the thermosetting silicone resin composition disclosed in Patent Literature 1 has low reactivity, and therefore has problems that the composition is cured slowly at low temperatures and that the composition is not cured in a predetermined time.

In addition, an adhesive using the silicone resin composition poses a problem that, after substrates are laminated each other, air bubbles are likely to be generated in the adhesive under high-temperature and high-humidity conditions, causing the visibility to be poor. Further, when a cured product of the silicone resin composition has poor flexibility, a cured product of the composition used for laminating a PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate) panel and an LCD (a liquid crystal display) panel, which are members used in an image display device, cannot relax a stress caused due to warpage of PMMA. Therefore, the silicone resin composition has problems that a crack is generated in the cured product of the composition and the cured product of the composition is peeled from the panel.

An object of the present invention is to provide an addition reaction-type polyorganosiloxane composition having a fast-curing property at room temperature, wherein a cured product of the composition has high elongation, excellent stress relaxation, good reliability properties under high-temperature and high-humidity conditions, and excellent cold heat cycle reliability.

That is, (A2) and (B3) have only at one end of the siloxane chain a reactive group (i.e., an alkenyl group in (A2) or a hydrosilyl group (SiH) in (B3)). By virtue of containing (A2) and/or (B3), the composition can appropriately reduce the density of a three-dimensional structure formed by a crosslinking reaction during the curing of the composition, making it possible to improve the stress relaxation property of a cured product of the composition.

In the formula (III), Ra2 is synonymous with Ra1, including the preferred groups. Rb4 is synonymous with Rb1, including the preferred groups.

These inhibitors for the platinum-based catalyst are described in Japanese Patent Application Kokai Publication No. S52-47053.

(Formulation and Others)

In the composition, the amount of (A2) contained is 0 to 60 parts by weight, relative to 100 parts by weight of the total of (A1) and (A2). When the amount of (A2) contained is more than 60 parts by weight, relative to 100 parts by weight of the total of (A1) and (A2), the fast-curing property of the composition at room temperature is poor. The amount of (A2) contained, relative to 100 parts by weight of the total of (A1) and (A2), is preferably 1 to 60 parts by weight, more preferably 5 to 52 parts by weight, further preferably 5 to 37 parts by weight, and especially preferably 17 to 37 parts by weight. When the amount of (A2) contained is 5 to 37 parts by weight, relative to 100 parts by weight of the total of (A1) and (A2), the adhesive strength is likely to be further improved, and, when the amount of (A2) contained is 17 to 37 parts by weight, it is likely that the elongation of a cured product of the composition as well as the adhesive strength are further improved, so that the stress relaxation property is further improved.

In the composition, the value of (HB1+HB2+HB3)/(ViA1+ViA2) is 0.6 to 2.2. When the value of (HB1+HB2+HB3)/(ViA1+ViA2) is less than 0.6, the composition is cured slowly or is not cured. When the value of (HB1+HB2+HB3)/(ViA1+ViA2) is more than 2.2, a cured product of the composition has poor reliability properties under high-temperature and high-humidity conditions.

A preferred range of the (HB1+HB2+HB3)/(ViA1+ViA2) is from 0.6 to 1.4, from 0.6 to 1.00 or from 0.6 to 0.99, and may be from 0.6 to 0.8 or from 0.7 to 0.8. In the case where the value of (HB1+HB2+HB3)/(ViA1+ViA2) is in the above preferred range, even when a cured product of the composition is heated at a high temperature (for example, heated at 100 to 180° C.), the cured product is likely to have a small change ratio of the flexibility. That is, even when the composition is cured and then further heated at a high temperature, it is likely that there is obtained a cured product which can appropriately relax an external stress to surely obtain a resistance to deformation. Such a cured product has more excellent cold heat cycle reliability. Further, when the value of (HB1+HB2+HB3)/(ViA1+ViA2) is 0.8 or less, a cured product of the composition is likely to have higher elongation.

(Preferred Formulation and Others)

The composition preferably satisfies the followings. In the following description, the wording “when the composition contains (A2)” indicates “when the composition contains (A2) and (B3)”, and preferably indicates “when the composition contains (A2) and does not contain (B3)”. The wording “when the composition contains (B3)” indicates “when the composition contains (A2) and (B3)”, and preferably indicates “when the composition contains (B3) and does not contain (A2)”.

When the composition contains (A2), in the composition, the value of (HB1+HB2)/(ViA1+ViA2) is preferably 0.6 to 2.2. When the value of (HB1+HB2)/(ViA1+ViA2) is 0.6 or more, the fast-curing property of the composition is improved. When the value of (HB1+HB2)/(ViA1+ViA2) is 2.2 or less, a cured product of the composition is improved in the reliability properties under high-temperature and high-humidity conditions. The value of (HB1+HB2)/(ViA1+ViA2) is more preferably 0.6 to 1.00, further preferably 0.6 to 0.99, still further preferably 0.6 to 0.8, and especially preferably 0.7 to 0.8. In the case where the value of (HB1+HB2)/(ViA1+ViA2) is in the above preferred range, even when a cured product of the composition is heated at a high temperature, the cured product is likely to have a small change ratio of the flexibility. Further, when the value of (HB1+HB2)/(ViA1+ViA2) is 0.8 or less, a cured product of the composition is likely to have higher elongation.

When the composition contains (A2), from the viewpoint of facilitating control of the density of a three-dimensional structure formed by a crosslinking reaction during the curing of the composition, with respect to (A1) and (A2), it is preferred that a combination of (A1) having a high viscosity (for example, 5,000 to 20,000 mPa·s) and (A2) having a low viscosity (for example, 50 to 1,000 mPa·s) is contained.

When the composition contains (A2), in the composition, the value of HB1/(HB1+HB2) is preferably 0.2 to 0.9, more preferably 0.2 to 0.8, and especially preferably 0.3 to 0.8, since it is likely that a cured product of the composition can be obtained, which has a further improved adhesive strength, excellent transparency and less yellowing.

When the composition contains (B3), in the composition, the value of (HB1+HB2+HB3)/ViA1 is preferably 0.6 to 2.5. When the value of (HB1+HB2+HB3)/ViA1 is 0.6 or more, the fast-curing property of the composition is improved. When the value of (HB1+HB2+HB3)/ViA1 is 2.5 or less, the occurrence of foaming in a cured product of the composition under high-temperature and high-humidity conditions can be satisfactorily suppressed. The value of (HB1+HB2+HB3)/ViA1 is more preferably 0.6 to 2.2, further preferably 0.6 to 2.0, still further preferably 0.6 to 1.4, still further preferably 0.6 to 0.99, and especially preferably 0.8 to 0.99. When the value of (HB1+HB2+HB3)/ViA1 is preferably 0.6 to 1.4, and more preferably 0.6 to 0.99, the cured product even after heated at a high temperature is likely to have a small change ratio of the flexibility.

When the value of HB3/(HB1+HB2+HB3) is 0.1 or more, the density of a three-dimensional structure formed by a crosslinking reaction during the curing of the composition can be appropriately reduced, so that the stress relaxation property of a cured product of the composition is further improved. When the value of HB3/(HB1+HB2+HB3) is 0.9 or less, the fast-curing property of the composition is improved.

When the composition contains (B3), in the composition, the value of HB2/(HB1+HB2+HB3) is preferably 0.1 to 0.9, more preferably 0.1 to 0.7, and especially preferably 0.15 to 0.55. When the value of HB2/(HB1+HB2+HB3) is 0.1 or more, the fast-curing property of the composition is improved. When the value of HB2/(HB1+HB2+HB3) is 0.9 or less, the cured product obtained after heated at a high temperature is improved in flexibility.

From the fact that the cured product even after heated at a high temperature is likely to have excellent stress relaxation property, it is preferred that the composition contains a combination of (A2) and (B3).

When the composition contains (A2), it is preferred that the composition contains an alkenyl group-containing polyorganosiloxane comprising only (A1) and (A2), and, in this case, the composition does not contain an alkenyl group-containing polyorganosiloxane other than (A1) and (A2).

When the composition does not contain (B3), it is preferred that the composition contains a polyorganohydrogensiloxane comprising only (B1) and (B2), and, in this case, the composition does not contain a polyorganohydrogensiloxane other than (B1) and (B2).

Therefore, when the composition contains (A2) and (B3), it is preferred that the composition contains an alkenyl group-containing polyorganosiloxane comprising only (A1) and (A2), and a polyorganohydrogensiloxane comprising only (B1), (B2) and (B3). In this case, the composition does not contain an alkenyl group-containing polyorganosiloxane other than (A1) and (A2), and a polyorganohydrogensiloxane other than (B1) and (B2).

From the viewpoint of ensuring an appropriate curing rate, the amount of (C) contained in the composition is preferably 0.1 to 1,000 ppm by weight, and more preferably 0.5 to 200 ppm by weight, based on the total weight of (A1) and (A2), in terms of a metal atom of the platinum group.

The composition can be obtained by blending together (A1), (B1), (B2), at least one member selected from the group consisting of (A2) and (B3), (C), and an arbitrary component. From the viewpoint of easily forming the composition in a uniform state to obtain a transparent cured product, it is preferred that the composition is a two-part composition comprising a first portion which contains “a combination of (A1), (A2) and (C)” or “a combination of (A1) and (C)” and which does not contain (B1), (B2) and (B3), and a second portion which contains (A1), (B1), (B2), and at least one member selected from the group consisting of (A2) and (B3) and which does not contain (C).

The evaluation of physical properties was conducted as descried below. The results are shown in Tables 1 to 9.

(1) Viscosity

Using a rotational viscometer (Vismetron VDA-L) (manufactured by Shibaura Systems Co., Ltd.), a viscosity (mPa·s) at 23° C. was measured. Other procedures were made in accordance with JIS K 6249 to conduct the measurement.

(2) Tack-Free Time

The composition (A) and the composition (B) were extruded in a volume ratio of 1:1, and while mixing together the extruded compositions using a mixing nozzle, 5 g of the resultant mixture was placed on a flat plate. The time at which the two compositions were in contact each other was set as 0, and a finger which had been cleaned with ethyl alcohol was lightly put on the surface of the mixture, and a period of time required until any sample did not adhere to the finger was determined as a tack-free time.

(3) Penetration

40 ml of an uncured silicone gel composition was placed in a heat-resistant glass beaker having a capacity of 50 ml and heated at 60° C. for 30 minutes to be cured, obtaining a silicone gel. After cooling the silicone gel to room temperature, a penetration (1) before heating treatment was measured in accordance with JIS K 6249 using a ¼ cone. Separately, 40 ml of an uncured silicone gel composition was placed in a heat-resistant glass beaker having a capacity of 50 ml and heated at 60° C. for 30 minutes to be cured, obtaining a silicone gel before heating treatment. Then, the resultant silicone gel was subjected to heating treatment at 150° C. for one hour, obtaining a silicone gel after heating treatment. After cooling the silicone gel to room temperature, a penetration (2) after heating treatment was measured in accordance with JIS K 6249 using a ¼ cone. A penetration change ratio in the heating treatment was determined from the formula (1) shown below. A large penetration means that the cured product has high flexibility and thus has excellent stress relaxation property. A small penetration change ratio means that the cured product after heating treatment has a small change ratio of the flexibility.
Penetration change ratio=(Penetration (1) before heating treatment−Penetration (2) after heating treatment)÷Penetration (1) before heating treatment  Formula (1)

(4) Yellow Index (YI)

As substrates, two glass plates (5 cm×5 cm×1 mm thickness) were used. A spacer was preliminarily disposed between the substrates so that the thickness of the composition became 200 μm. The two glass plates were laminated through the composition so that the composition had a size of 50 mm×50 mm and had a thickness of 200 μm, obtaining a laminate. The laminate was subjected to heat treatment at 25° C. for 30 minutes and at 70° C. for 30 minutes, obtaining an adhesive body having the two substrates adhered to each other through a cured product of the composition. The adhesive body was rendered in a state at 25° C., and then a yellow index, which is an index of the degree of color change, was measured. A yellow index was measured using a spectrophotometer (CM-3500d, manufactured by Konica Minolta, Inc.).

(5) Haze

A specimen was prepared in the same manner as in “(4) Yellow index”. With respect to the prepared specimen, a haze was measured in accordance with JIS K 7105 using Haze meter NDH5000 (manufactured by Nippon Denshoku Industries Co., Ltd.).

(6) b* (D65)

A specimen was prepared in the same manner as in “(4) Yellow index”. With respect to the prepared specimen, a b* (D65) was measured.

(7) Foaming

(7-1) Preparation of Specimen (1)

A specimen was prepared in the same manner as in “(4) Yellow index”.

(7-2) Preparation of Specimen (2)

As substrates, two glass plates (5 cm×5 cm×1 mm thickness) were used. A spacer was preliminarily disposed between the substrates so that the thickness of the composition became 200 μm. The two glass plates were laminated through the composition so that the composition had a size of 50 mm×50 mm and had a thickness of 200 μm, obtaining a laminate. The laminate was subjected to heat treatment at 60° C. for 30 minutes, obtaining an adhesive body having the two substrates adhered to each other through a cured product of the composition. The obtained adhesive body was used as a specimen.

(7-3) Foaming Test

The prepared specimens were individually placed in a thermo-hygrostat at 85° C. and at 85% RH for 500 hours, and then visually examined as to whether or not the resin had therein air bubbles. In the tables below, the rating “⅓ Foaming” indicates that air bubbles were confirmed in one specimen among the three specimens.

(8) Glass/Glass Shear Adhesive Strength (MPa) and Elongation (%)

Two glass plates (length: 80 mm; width: 25 mm; thickness: 2 mm) arranged in parallel were laminated through a composition so that the composition had a length of 25 mm, a width of 10 mm and a thickness of 150 μm, and heated at 60° C. for 30 minutes to cure the composition, preparing a test specimen for a shear adhesive strength measurement. The obtained test specimen was pulled in the direction perpendicular to the adhesive surface at a speed of 10 mm/minute to measure an adhesive strength and an elongation.

(9) Cold Heat Cycle Test

As substrates, a glass plate (14 cm×10 cm×1 mm thickness) and PMMA (manufactured by Kuraray Co., Ltd.) (16 cm×11 cm×1 mm thickness) were used. The substrates were laminated through a composition so that the thickness of the composition became 400 μm using a spacer preliminarily disposed between the substrates, obtaining a laminate. The laminate was subjected to heat treatment at 60° C. for 30 minutes, obtaining an adhesive body having the two substrates adhered to each other through a cured product of the composition. The adhesive body was placed in a cold heat cycle machine having one cycle at −40° C. for 30 minutes and at 85° C. for 30 minutes and retained in the machine for 100 cycles. The adhesive body was removed from the machine and visually examined as to whether or not peeling (separation of the substrates) and a crack in the resin occurred. An adhesive body which has suffered no peeling and no formation of a crack in the resin in the cold heat cycle test has excellent reliability under high-temperature and high-humidity conditions. In the tables below, the rating “⅖” indicates that peeling or a crack in the resin was confirmed in two specimens among the five specimens.

The results are summarized below. In Comparative Example 7, HB2 is the number for the hydrogen atoms bonded to the silicon atoms of B4.

The compositions in Examples 1 to 9 contain (A2) and do not contain (B3). The compositions in Examples 10 to 16 contain (B3) and do not contain (A2). The compositions in Examples 17 and 18 contain both (A2) and (B3).

Each of the compositions in the Examples had excellent fast-curing property at room temperature, and the composition after cured had high elongation, excellent stress relaxation property, excellent reliability properties under high-temperature and high-humidity conditions, and excellent cold heat cycle reliability.

A comparison was made between Examples 1 and 2 and Examples 3 to 5. With respect to the cured products having almost the same weight of (A2), relative to 100 parts by weight of the total of (A1) and (A2), and having almost the same value of HB1/(HB1+HB2), the cured products in Examples 3 to 5, in which the value of (HB1+HB2+HB3)/(ViA1+ViA2) (i.e., (HB1+HB2)/(ViA1+ViA2)) was 0.99 or less, had a small penetration change ratio, and excellent stress relaxation property even after the heating treatment. Further, a comparison was made between Example 3 and Examples 4 and 5. The cured products in Examples 4 and 5, in which the value of (HB1+HB2+HB3)/(ViA1+ViA2) (i.e., (HB1+HB2)/(ViA1+ViA2)) was 0.8 or less, had a higher elongation.

A comparison was made between Example 3 and Examples 6 and 7. With respect to the cured products having almost the same weight of (A2), relative to 100 parts by weight of the total of (A1) and (A2), and having almost the same value of (HB1+HB2+HB3)/(ViA1+ViA2) (i.e., (HB1+HB2)/(ViA1+ViA2)), the cured product in Example 3, in which the value of HB1/(HB1+HB2) was in an especially preferred range, was further improved in the adhesive strength. Further, with respect to the compositions in Examples 6 and 7 in which the value of (HB1+HB2+HB3)/(ViA1+ViA2) (i.e., (HB1+HB2)/(ViA1+ViA2)) is changed to be almost the same as that in the compositions in Examples 4 and 5, it is presumed that cured products obtained from the compositions in Examples 4 and 5 have a further improved adhesive strength. A comparison was made between Examples 3 to 8 and Example 9. With respect to the cured products having almost the same value of HB1/(HB1+HB2) and having almost the same value of (HB1+HB2+HH3)/(ViA1+ViA2) (i.e., (HB1+HB2)/(ViA1+ViA2)), in the case where the weight of (A2), relative to 100 parts by weight of the total of (A1) and (A2), was in a further preferred range, the adhesive strength was further improved, and, in the case where the weight of (A2) was in an especially preferred range, the adhesive strength was further improved and the elongation was further improved.

In Comparative Example 1, the value of (HB1+HB2+HB3)/(ViA1+ViA2) was less than 0.6, and therefore curing at room temperature was slow.

In Comparative Example 2, the value of (HB1+HB2+HB3)/(ViA1+ViA2) was more than 2.2, and therefore air bubbles in the cured product were confirmed, and the occurrence of peeling and a crack in the resin was observed in all the test specimens after the cold heat cycle test, and thus the reliability under high-temperature and high-humidity conditions was poor.

In Comparative Example 3, (B1) was not contained, and therefore a cured product having poor stress relaxation property and a small elongation was obtained.

In Comparative Example 4, (B2) was not contained, and therefore curing at room temperature was slow.

In Comparative Example 5, both (A2) and (B3) were not contained, and therefore a cured product having poor stress relaxation property and a small elongation was obtained.

In Comparative Example 6, the weight of (A2), relative to 100 parts by weight of the total of (A1) and (A2), was more than 60 parts by weight, and therefore curing at room temperature was slow.

In Comparative Example 7, instead of (B2), a linear polyorganohydrogensiloxane having a hydrogen atom bonded to the silicon atom in the intermediate unit was used, and therefore curing at room temperature was slow. In addition, in Comparative Example 7, air bubbles in the cured product were confirmed.

A comparison was made between Examples 10 to 15 and Example 16. In the case where the value of (HB1+HB2+HB3)/(ViA1+ViA2) (i.e., (HB1+HB2+HB3)/ViA1) is 0.6 to 1.4, the stress relaxation property was further improved, and the occurrence of peeling and a crack in the resin was not found at all after the cold heat cycle test, and thus the reliability properties after the cold heat cycle test were further improved. In Example 7, in four test specimens after the cold heat cycle test, the occurrence of peeling and a crack in the resin was not found. In Example 16, in one test specimen after the cold heat cycle test, slight peeling occurred at the corner of the test specimen, but a number of air bubbles or cracks were not observed in the test specimen. In contrast, in the Comparative Examples, a number of air bubbles and cracks were observed in all the test specimens.

A comparison was made between Examples 10 to 13 and Examples 14 to 16. In the case where the value of (HB1+HB2+HB3)/(ViA1+ViA2) (i.e., (HB1+HB2+HB3)/ViA1) was 0.6 to 0.99, a lowering of the flexibility of the cured product after the heating treatment was small, and, even after the heating treatment, the cured product had excellent stress relaxation property.

In Comparative Example 8, the value of (HB1+HB2+HB3)/(ViA1+ViA2) was less than 0.6, and therefore curing at room temperature was slow.

In Comparative Example 9, the value of (HB1+HB2+HB3)/(ViA1+ViA2) was more than 2.2, and therefore air bubbles were confirmed in the cured product after the treatment under high-temperature and high-humidity conditions, and the occurrence of peeling and a crack in the resin was observed in all the test specimens after the cold heat cycle test, and thus the reliability under high-temperature and high-humidity conditions was poor.

In Comparative Example 10, both (A2) and (B3) were not contained, and therefore the stress relaxation property was poor, and further the occurrence of peeling and a crack in the resin was observed in all the test specimens after the cold heat cycle test, and thus the reliability under high-temperature and high-humidity conditions was poor.

In Comparative Example 11, instead of (B2), a linear polyorganohydrogensiloxane having a hydrogen atom bonded to the silicon atom in the intermediate unit was used, and therefore curing at room temperature was slow. In addition, in Comparative Example 11, the stress relaxation property was poor, and bubbles were confirmed in the cured product after the treatment under high-temperature and high-humidity conditions, and the occurrence of peeling and a crack in the resin was confirmed in the two test specimens after the cold heat cycle test, and thus the reliability under high-temperature and high-humidity conditions was poor.

A comparison was made between Example 17 and Example 3, and a comparison was made between Example 18 and Example 8. With respect to the cured products having almost the same weight of (A2), relative to 100 parts by weight of the total of (A1) and (A2), and having almost the same value of (HB1+HB2+HB3)/(ViA1+ViA2), the cured products in Examples 17 and 18, in which (B3) were contained, had a further reduced penetration change ratio and excellent stress relaxation property even after the heating treatment.

The curable polyorganosiloxane composition is useful in adhering a base portion having an image display part for an image display device such as a cathode ray tube, liquid crystal, plasma or organic EL image display device, to a light-transmitting protective portion.
